Review: CANDLELIGHT®: THE BEST OF HANS ZIMMER at Grace Presbyterian Church
by Amanda Barnum - Mar 22, 2026
The Candlelight® concert series is a special treat for music lovers of all ages and varying music tastes. The concert took place in an ecclesiological Gothic Revival style church built in 1911 - 1912 with a behemoth organ at its centre.

With thousands of candles delicately placed throughout the space, the ambience was surreal as night fell upon us.

Review: THE STORY OF A ROSE: A MUSICAL REVERIE ON THE GREAT WAR at NVCC'S Schlesinger Center
by Elliot Lanes - May 13, 2025
If you were to ask a modern day student what they know about WW1, they probably would give you a short answer seeing as it is rarely taught nowadays.

Complete with a seven piece orchestra, superb arrangements by Tedd Firth, and mostly top notch technical elements, this show does a lot to teach us all about a forgotten generation of military and the time period in general.
